Reseñas

An amazing piece of Irish drama about a family of Irishmen who, due to the current economic situation in Ireland, are forced to emmigrate to England to find work. Ruled by an overbearing father figure, the group tries to figure out how to redefine or perhaps keep their identity in a foreign land and in such helpless circumstances.

The text is beautiful in its dramatic intensity.
